Experienced headGoalkeeper

J. Day is a 36-year-old goalkeeper at Cheltenham, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 46 appearances, a Season grade of 16, top 20% of League Two goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.5, ranking 188th of 221 in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (100% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Day.

Judged on this season alone, Day graded 16 — a strong campaign that ranks top 20% of the 25 goalkeepers in the League Two, on 11 clean sheets across 46 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 16). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 20th of 25 of the 25 goalkeepers in the League Two. At 36 Day is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.

11 clean sheets in 46 appearances (24% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (18th of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 13.5, Day carries the 20th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League Two of 25, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cheltenham finished 18th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
